Available Games

GameShield offers a variety of interactive games to verify human users. Each game is designed to test different aspects of human behavior that are difficult for bots to simulate.

Game Types

Snake

A pattern completion challenge where players control a snake to collect specific items while avoiding others.

• Challenge Type: Pattern Completion Challenge
• Difficulty: Adjustable movement speed and obstacle count
• Verification: Collect 2-5 target food items (depending on difficulty)

Breakout

A brick-breaking challenge that tests precision, timing, and paddle control.

• Challenge Type: Brick Breaking Challenge
• Difficulty: Adjustable ball speed and paddle size
• Verification: Break 3-8 bricks (depending on difficulty)

Tetris

A line completion challenge requiring spatial awareness and planning.

• Challenge Type: Line Completion Challenge
• Difficulty: Adjustable falling speed and target line count
• Verification: Clear 1-3 lines (depending on difficulty)

Games In Development

The following games are currently in development and will be available in future releases:

Asteroids

• Challenge Type: Survival Challenge
• Status: In development

Flappy Bird

A precision challenge requiring careful timing and control to navigate through gaps.

• Challenge Type: Precision Challenge
• Status: In development

Dino Run

A timing-based challenge inspired by the classic Chrome dinosaur game, testing precise jump timing.

• Challenge Type: Jump Timing Challenge
• Status: In development

Pac-Man

Selecting Game Types

You can specify which game type to use when initializing GameShield:

import { GameShield } from "@gameshield/react";

function MyCaptcha() {
  return (
    <GameShield
      gameType="snake" // Specify game type
      difficulty="medium"
      onSuccess={(token) => console.log("Verified:", token)}
    />
  );
}

Available game types:

• "snake" - Snake game
• "breakout" - Breakout game
• "tetris" - Tetris game
• "random" - Randomly selects one of the available games (default)

Random Game Selection

By default, GameShield uses the "random" game type, which randomly selects one of the available games. This adds an additional layer of security by making it harder for bots to prepare for a specific game type.

<GameShield
  gameType="random" // Random game selection (default)
  difficulty="medium"
  onSuccess={(token) => console.log("Verified:", token)}
/>

Customizing Games

Each game can be customized with specific configuration options. See the individual game documentation for details on available options.

Security Considerations

Different games test different aspects of human behavior:

• Snake: Tests decision making and spatial awareness
• Breakout: Tests precision and timing
• Tetris: Tests spatial reasoning and planning

For maximum security, use the "random" game type to make it harder for bots to prepare for a specific challenge.
